    Gen 1 Tops and Windows

    Let's talk a bit about gen 1 covers..... I've had several. They all leak but you early car owners know this (if you ever drive your car). I'd really like to see a solid thread about keeping the water out, top designs, window designs etc....... Please, let's hear about your experiences....

    I'm willing to sell these cheap. They're in great shape. The PS2s are '09 date coded, at 1/4 tread left. Please get these out of my garage. Cheers

    '00 GTS, sometimes revs high at idle. Thoughts?

    I'm thinking MAP or IAC but it's not my car and I haven't driven it. Seems fine while cold but starts idling up to 3k while warm... No CEL.. Apparently the high idle is intermittent. What is it???

    Save your soft top

    Hey guys, I know many of you are thinking about removing the hardtops on your R/ts about now (if you haven't done it yet....). These tops have a bad way of rubbing/tearing in the storage bag while in the car. I thought I'd show you what I do to keep my top fresh.... so far so good...

    Another headgasket job (gen 1)

    I never liked the dash in my '94. Like all the others, mine was sticky, dirty and scratched easily with a misplaced fingernail!! The dash trim was getting pretty ugly but I wanted to keep the car as original as possible so I just tried not to look at it and never touched it on purpose! (some...
